Repair or Replacing your Heating and Air Conditioning Unit?
A home comfort system has value, life expectancy and operating/maintenance costs?
When to repair your system?
Our professional technicians have been trained to assess a situation and make recommendations, taking into consideration the cost of the repair, history, age, safety and operating costs. if your system is newer than 10 years old we will check to see what warranties are still available.
Consider the cost of repair vs. maintenance?
Lack of maintenance is the number one cause, and poor installation is the number two cause of premature replacement of your system. Invest in an annual maintenance visit and reduce the potential expense and inconvenience of repairs and increase the life span and reduce operating costs.
When is the right time to replace your system?
- If there is a history of continual repairs each year such as Freon leak, your technician may advise you to either replace now or start budgeting for it in the future.
- If your system is over 10 years old, an energy analysis will provide utility savings data to compare to the cost of a new system.
Getting information is easy and free!
Every home and situation is different; we take time to provide our customers with information to make a wise decision. If it's not in your best interest we do not recommend it! Call our office today (423) 509-8787 to schedule your FREE, NO OBLIGATION analysis.

I like it when old traditions merge with new ones and become richer in the process. This is what's happened with our Annual Cake Contest and Ice Cream Social. In the past, SHCC's Ice Cream Social served as an opportunity for fellowship and a chance to say good bye to Summer. It still does. When the church first looked to this event as our chance to respond to the Robert V. Miller Fund's annual fundraiser it not only allowed us to support a special ministry that has a historic connection to SHCC, it morphed into a cake contest you have to see (and taste) to appreciate.
Take the time to visit the Robert V. Miller Fund website at www.rvmcampsadultsdisabilities.org to learn more about their story and upcoming events and mark your calendar for Sunday evening, August 21st at 6:00 PM. You'll be glad you did.
See you on Sunday, Greg

A first winter BARRED WARBLER was photographed in a front garden in Bengeo Street, Bengeo yesterday lunchtime – just opposite the large church. Mike Ilett and myself had a look for it this afternoon, but no luck – however it is most likely to be around in one of the back gardens where there are a lot more bushes. Rather surprisingly the bird is ringed and appears to lack a tail.

Before we discuss the bandwagon effect, let's agree that the word "bandwagon" usually gets a pretty bad rap:
- Bandwagon politics
- Bandwagon diet
- Bandwagon sports fan
In each of these cases, the use of the word "bandwagon" implies that the people following a certain cause or idea are doing so blindly, without any sort of critical thought as to why they're doing so.
But that doesn't mean hopping on a bandwagon is always such a bad thing – as long you have good reason hop on.
As the owner or manager of a company, you want more and more people to hop on your bandwagon. Why wouldn't you want throngs of people to become your loyal customers?
You don't want just anyone to buy into your product or service simply because "everyone else is doing it."
You want to draw the right customers to your company.
Think about it:
If a bunch of people who have little to no need for your product spend their hard-earned cash on whatever it is you're offering, they're most likely going to end up being disappointed. If they voice this displeasure to their friends, or on a public forum, it won't matter that they weren't the "right" person for your product; their negative comments will still have a damaging effect on your reputation.
On the other hand, by gathering a large group of the right customers together on your metaphorical bandwagon, you ensure that any word of mouth spread about your brand is positive in nature. In turn, this can lead to:
- Increased awareness of your brand
- Increased customer loyalty
- Increased brand equity
The following article will discuss the ways in which your company can use groupthink and the bandwagon effect to its advantage, and will provide examples of how companies have successfully implemented these strategies in recent times.
Leveraging The Groupthink Phenomenon to Increase Sales and Grow Your Company
Consumers tend to adapt a bandwagon mindset in four main ways:
- Following the herd, or "keeping up with the Joneses"
- Trusting the herd
- Following their peers
- Following influential people
Before we dig into each of these areas, let's make one thing clear:
The concept of leveraging the bandwagon effect does not equate to taking advantage of huddled masses full of unsuspecting people. On the contrary, you'll actually end up sharpening your marketing focus on individuals who are most in need of your product or service, ensuring that those who hop on the bandwagon will stay along for the ride.
Following the Herd (Or, "Keeping Up with the Joneses")
The phrase "keeping up with the Joneses" has always had a negative connotation attached to it.
Essentially, the saying refers to the idea that people will buy into the newest fad or purchase the hottest new item simply because everyone else around them is doing so. (A more modernized version of this is "FOMO," or "Fear Of Missing Out.")
In the marketing and advertising industries, we've seen this concept manifest over and over again, to the point that it's almost been done to death:
- Beer commercials promising good times in every bottle or can
- Ads for new 4K TVs promising you'll be the envy of every guy in town come gameday
- Car commercials comparing the frustration a neighbor feels with his subpar vehicle to the feeling you could have with a brand new luxury sedan
Each of these examples plays on the idea that, if you buy such and such a product, your life will automatically improve (and you'll end up happier than the "have-nots").
But this is a blanket assumption.
How can these advertisements know that this beer or that car can make a specific person happy?
Simply put: they can't.
These type of advertisements prey on susceptible individuals who feel like they're missing out on something in their life, but really have no idea what that something is. They're probably willing to take a shot in the dark and see if your product will improve their lives – but if/when it doesn't, they'll move on to something else.
By casting a wide "FOMO" net, you're really just hoping enough people get caught in it to make your efforts pay off. More often than not, this won't be the case.
But there are ways to implement a "keeping up with the Joneses" marketing campaign while focusing on prospects that have a high probability of becoming – and remaining – paying customers.
For a prime example of how to do this, look no further than e-commerce giant Amazon.
For each product department, Amazon provides customers with a number of options to help them narrow their search – getting them closer and closer to the product that's most likely to fulfill their exact need.
The first section to take note of is the Best Sellers section. By listing the best-selling products in a specific department, Amazon is essentially saying "Everyone and their brother has one of these, so you should too!"
Though such a tactic does play on the customer's FOMO, it does so in an objective way. Rather than claiming that a product is "just what the customer is looking for," Amazon simply lets the customer know: "Hey, a ton of other people with your needs have bought these products." The customer, then, is able to focus on determining which specific product in this list is right for them.
The screenshot above displays the top six best-selling books on Amazon at the time of writing this. While this list might help the avid reader who's made it their goal to read as many best-sellers as possible, this section might not be so helpful to a customer looking for a specific type of book.
That's where recommendations come in.
Though it may seem like magic to the run-of-the-mill consumer, these suggestions are curated through predictive analytics – a process which analyzes both an individual's browsing and purchasing history, and that of like-minded customers, to identify other products the individual might find useful.
In the example above, Amazon tells the customer: "We know what you like. Other people who like the same things also like these things. Check them out!" In this way, Amazon targets high-probability prospects and asks them to hop on a specific bandwagon full of individuals just like them.
By providing suggestions to prospects based on what similar customers have enjoyed – rather than making suggestions based on a manufactured fear of missing out – you'll fill your fan base with individuals who will almost certainly be more than one-and-done customers.
Trusting The Herd
In the section above, we discussed how marketers can use what they know about their current customers to target future prospects.
But sometimes, it can be beneficial for the marketer to step out of the equation and let current customers sing the company's praises on their own.
According to WebDAM, customer testimonials are the most effective form of content marketing in terms of creating conversions. In other words: when making a purchasing decision, potential customers place high importance on current customers' experiences with a company's products or service.
Customer input can be either solicited or unsolicited, structured or unstructured. In this section, we'll take a look at a few examples of each type.
Solicited and structured customer testimonials can come in the form of interviews, video clips, or case studies, and can be told by either the actual customer or through the lens of a storyteller. These pieces usually focus on a specific aspect of the product or service, the positive outcome the customer experienced due to using it, and any pleasant surprises they discovered along the way.
Because these pieces are created with the cooperation of a copywriter or interviewer who has an intimate knowledge of the company's products and overall purpose, they can focus on a specific aspect of the company's product or service.
However, there's a fine line between coming off as "real" and coming off as forced. That being said, it's important for the content creator to act simply as a medium through which satisfied customers can tell their story – rather than exaggerating the customer's experience and giving prospects unrealistic expectations.
Marketers can also choose to remove themselves from the entire equation completely by providing customers the opportunity to post reviews and comments on the company's website and social media pages.
Unlike structured testimonials, customer-generated reviews are just that: created by customers, for future customers.
The customer in this example is clearly looking out for others like him who are searching for inexpensive, efficient earbuds. His review is objective, informative, and jargon-free (he even refers to his words as a "layman's evaluation"!).
Nothing in this review is forced. Panasonic didn't ask the customer to write it, and he didn't stand to gain anything from doing so; he just wanted to help others that find themselves in a situation he knows all too well.
And he did. Notice at the bottom of the screenshot: 7,539 people found his review helpful. Given that the review was favorable, it's reasonable to assume that a large amount of those who found the review helpful actually purchased the product in question. That's 7,000-plus people who hopped on a bandwagon due to a single positive review.
(On top of that, the product has been reviewed by over 40,000 customers – 68% of which gave it a 5-star rating.)
That's…quite a bandwagon. Anyone in need of new earbuds would absolutely feel confident hitching a ride with these satisfied customers.
We're lucky enough to live at a time in which gaining a following that spans the entire globe is well within the realm of possibility. The larger your customer base grows, the higher the potential of it growing even larger.
Following Peers
"If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"
According to a 2014 study by Harris Interactive, the answer to that question for most young adult internet users is "maybe."
At least, that's the case when it comes to making purchases based on their friends' posts on social media.
It's one thing to see a positive review of a product or service from a fairly anonymous customer that you have no connection with. But when someone you know, like, and trust has nothing but good things to say about a company, you're statistically much more likely to listen.
Like with customer testimonials, peer recommendations can either be facilitated by the company seeking the recommendation, or can be created organically by the customer.
As is the case in the above screenshot, companies can suggest that customers share purchases with their friends – spreading awareness of their product and leveraging word of mouth in one fell swoop.
While such a notification might not benefit every person on the customer's friend list, it stands to reason that a good percentage of people on an individual's friend list has similar taste and needs – and will, in fact, appreciate the content being shared.
But it's what can happen after customers share a purchase that can be truly valuable to a company.
For example, say ten of the customer's friends contact her after they notice her purchase, and ask for a recommendation. Assuming she has only good things to say about your product, your potential customer base has now grown by ten individuals. If they each go through with a purchase, share the purchase, and ten of their friends become interested: your company gains over 100 prospects. All because one person shared their initial purchase.
Though you don't exactly have control about what happens after the fact, you stand to lose out on hundreds – even thousands – of potential sales if you don't provide your satisfied customers the opportunity to share their purchase on social media.
Following Trusted Influencers
Every herd has a leader. And a brand's bandwagon is no exception.
These influential individuals are experts in the industry, and are held in high regard by rest of the crowd. Others want to be just like them, and will follow their every word if it means having a shot at attaining the level of success these people have reached.
However, like we discussed in the section on following the herd, leveraging the opinions of well-known individuals can be done an exploitative way, or it can be done in an inclusive way. Needless to say, the latter is much more effective.
You're surely familiar with the advertising tactic of getting big-name superstars to appear in ads and commercials for a product. While doing so can still be effective if done right, it can spell disaster for all parties involved if done wrong.
The fact of the matter is, consumers see right through celebrity endorsements that are insincere or hypocritical.
(Note: Having a celebrity appear in your commercial in the name of meta-humor is always good for a laugh, but that's neither here nor there.)
Anyway, for a celebrity or influencer endorsement to work, the individual promoting the product or service should actually believe what they're saying about it.
Think about it like this:
Of all the brands Michael Jordan has endorsed, which one comes to mind first?
(For the sake of argument, I'm assuming you said "Nike.")
The basketball legend has been the spokesman for countless products, from underwear to cologne.
But Nike will always stick out not just because the company named a sneaker after him, but because we know for a fact that Jordan actually did wear Nike sneakers while playing ball.
The message is clear: if Nike is good enough for one of the absolute greatest athletes of our time, there's no doubt the company makes quality products.
But, again, this is still the "old way" of using celebrities to market a product.
Nowadays, it's all about using a celebrity's social media following as leverage. This is where the bandwagon effect really takes hold.
Social media has allowed us all to catch candid glimpses of celebrities' "real lives" in a way that simply wasn't possible a couple de ades ago. What we've discovered is – *gasp* – even the most famous individuals are people, just like you and I.
(Okay, maybe celebrities can afford to actually visit #SaltBae's restaurant, while the rest of us have to settle for watching him cook via Instagram. But anyway…)
The point is, celebrities are people, too. And, as people, they all have causes they care deeply about, and brands they are loyal to.
Though not necessarily related to marketing, consider the following: The Natural Resources Defense Council's Twitter account usually gets anywhere from 5-50 retweets per message. But look what happens when DiCaprio himself (with a following of over 17 million people) retweets a video from the NRDC:
Did the NRDC contact DiCaprio and ask him to retweet that video? Most likely not. The famous actor, who's well-known for being an outspoken supporter of environmental protection, likely saw the video and shared it just as you or I would with any valuable resource we happen to find while browsing the web. In turn, the video reached thousands – if not millions – more individuals than it would have had DiCaprio not taken the time to share it with his followers.
Now, there's one other way in which marketers can leverage trusted influencers' opinions:
Expert testimonials.
This type of marketing tactic combines the intentionality of a paid endorsement with the candid aspect of unsolicited support. In this way, expert testimonials allow companies to expand their reach and spread positive information about their products or services.
Expert testimonials can come in a variety of forms, from interview quotes and product reviews on your company's site to references and mentions on experts' blogs.
In either case, expert testimonials can be gathered both proactively and passively.
When gathering testimonials for your own website, you might choose to reach out to customers who are well-known in their own industry to see if they'd like to offer a positive word about your product. If you know for a fact they've found your product valuable, you might ask them to include a link to your site in a future blog post, should the opportunity arise.
On the other hand, you might discover an influencer has left a positive review of your product on its Amazon page, or has mentioned your product on their site without even being prompted. If that's the case, you can reach out to them and see if they wouldn't mind you using a screenshot of such a testimonial on your own site.
Either way, having trusted influencers speak highly of your brand will expose your company to thousands of new prospects. If this bandwagon of individuals takes their leader's word as bond, you can expect that many of them will begin following you, as well.
Though we used the word "herd" throughout this article when discussing your customer base, you may have noticed we intentionally avoided using the word "flock."
Because your followers are not sheep. They won't blindly follow you wherever you go, especially if you lead them astray – and you shouldn't expect them to.
But, if you build a solid foundation of customers, and maintain a position of leadership, knowledge, and wisdom within your industry, your pack will continue to grow – and will become more and more loyal to you as you continue to provide for their needs.

The probation hearing for "affluenza" teen Ethan Couch, 18, began in North Texas on Tuesday, January 19 only to be delayed because neither of Couch's parents were formally notified of the hearing.
Initially, Couch's defense team objected to the hearing happening without their client present but prosecutors countered that Couch was voluntarily absent. Couch has been in a Mexican holding facility, fighting his extradition back to Tarrant County. However, WFAA 8 (ABC) reported that Couch's attorney Scott Brown said Tuesday that documents filed in Mexico to fight his extradiction were withdrawn, which clears Couch's return to Texas. Prosecutors hope to move Couch's case to the adult court system before his 19th birthday in April.
Still, because no record existed that Couch's parents were formally notified of the hearing previously, the judge called a recess, putting the transfer hearing on hold until Couch's parents can be properly informed. "The judge looked at the file. He followed the letter of the law. This judge knows the juvenile law backwards and fowards and he found the state could not go forward with the transfer motion today," Brown told reporters. KDFW 4 (Fox) reported that the meeting was rescheduled for Feb. 19.
Breitbart Texas reported that Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) planned to deliver the results of their online petition to support the prosecution's efforts to move the case to adult court. According to their website, they collected more than 40,000 signatures by early Tuesday morning. MADD exceeded the 30,000 signature they originally sought.
The prosecution intended to argue its case to move Couch's case from the juvenile system and into adult court. Previously, Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson reiterated her sentiments that she wanted to see Couch's case moved. She said that keeping Couch in a juvenile facility for fleeing the country until his 19th birthday in April "is not enough" punishment.
Couch was 16-years-old when he killed four people and wounded others in a June 2013 drunk-driving wreck near Fort Worth. His defense attorneys claimed he was the victim of "affluenza," an inability to distinguish right from wrong based on his affluent upbringing. Instead of jail time, a lenient judge gave Couch a 10 year probation sentence.
On Monday, MADD's Jason Derscheid told KDFW 4 (Fox) that Couch has not been held accountable. "Having him transfer over to the adult (court) system will actually give them an opportunity to hold him more accountable, which is what we want. You know, he's not a child."
In December, investigators began to probe into a social media video of a party allegedly serving alcohol surfaced and showed someone who looked like Couch. Drinking alcohol was among his probation violations. Later, the teen failed to connect with his probation officer and authorities believed his mother helped him flee to Mexico, where both were detained. Authorities since extradited his mother Tonya Couch to Tarrant County, who they charged with hindering the apprehension of a felon, her son. Tonya Couch's bond was set at $1 million, although last week, it was lowered by a judge to $75,000. She bonded out of the Tarrant County Jail and must wear an electronic ankle monitor.

High-torque, high-thrust integral drive spindle now available on three HMCs
MASON, OH--January 2006--Makino's unique, high-torque and high-thrust spindle is now available on three different horizontal machining centers to provide unparalleled productivity and reliability that helps customers reduce costs from their manufacturing operations. The most powerful integral drive spindle on any machine in the world, it has been expanded from its initial offering on the Makino a81, which was renamed the Makino a81M. It is now also available on the company's A99E and A100 E horizontal machining centers.
The Makino integral drive spindle greatly outperforms all other spindles on the market due to the nature of its special design, which provides significantly higher torque at a low rpm. The proprietary design of the integral drive spindle combines the optimum blend of speed and superior rigidity necessary to take aggressive cuts.
Other high torque spindles utilize a geared-type head. Such design intrinsically causes a loss of significant power that further drops spindle efficiency, which can slow down the spindle performance and adversely affect cycle times.
a81M Features
The Makino a81M has a rapid feed rate of IPM 1.42 IPM (36m/min). It is able to handle workloads of up to 10, 800 pounds (4,900Kg).
The high-torque, integral drive spindle has an available 744 foot pounds (1,009 Nm) of torque from zero to 392 rpm. To match that torque, the spindle employs 50 hp from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm. This duty rating and continuous output of the Makino spindle lends itself to difficult cutting scenarios.
Long reach and large diameter boring operations require a great deal of torque, particularly at low rpm. For applications such as tapping, where a significant amount of spindle stopping, starting and reversal occurs, the Makino high-torque spindle is significantly faster and has less idle time.
With four rows of angular center trough hinge conveyor bearings in the front and two rows in the back, the a81M has a cartridge-style spindle with jacket cooling and oil/air lubrication. This helps provide enhanced performance and serviceability, and lower maintenance labor costs.
Application and Markets
The a81 is well suited in large diameter rough boring and face milling on tough and hard metals. These include tool steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, titanium alloy, nickel-based alloys, inconel, cast or ductile iron and CGI (compacted graphite iron).
The a81 has significant application in general machining, production machining, aerospace, diesel engine, construction equipment, and pump and compressor manufacturing. The Makino high-torque, integral drive spindle employs a standard CAT 50-taper toolholder, with an HSK-A100 as optional. Diameters range up to 4.75 inches (120 mm).
The integral drive, high-torque spindle has no corresponding loss of acceleration and deceleration. The acc/dec ranges from 4.4 seconds to 3.8 seconds at 8,000 rpm, ranging up to 10,000 RPM.

As a child, I dreamed of a "career." My mother had one. It required she wear suits (the most memorable of which she sewed herself), work long days in the city, and occasionally fly to Paris for meetings. Picture me, curled up on the couch, pyjama-clad, drifting off to sleep in the glow of a PowerPoint presentation and the sound of my mother practicing her speech on global tax laws. A strange bedtime story, perhaps, but it didn't matter—in my eyes, she was a power-suit-wearing superhero.
In retrospect, I realize how very lucky I was. Some people, both men and women, go their whole careers without meeting that person who would inspire them to set and follow through on goals, but I had a professional mentor before I even knew what that meant.
Today, as ever, the world desperately needs mentors, especially women, especially in film. This issue is filled with the stories of female trailblazers who, like my mother did with her career in the '80s and '90s, are putting in the late nights to make a difference in their fields and, in doing so, are inspiring the next generation. The Toronto International Film Festival itself is a major contributor to the cause. This year, TIFF announced the Share Her Journey initiative, a five-year commitment to encourage women and minorities to join the arts community.
This support, this framework for success for women in the arts and beyond, is vital. My family had it—Mom was definitely not the only feminist living under our roof. My father, who stayed home to raise my brother and me, taught me to be healthy, competitive, and persistent. In grade school, he became my running coach, similarly helping me to set and achieve my goals, and correct a wobbly stride (it still wobbles a bit). There's no doubt in my mind that my mother and, in turn, my brother and I, wouldn't have been able to realize the success we enjoy today without his support. Because feminism is more than women boosting up other women: it's about people supporting each other as equals. Hillary Clinton said it perfectly: "Human rights are women's right and women's rights are human rights, once and for all."
After 42 years of suits, rush-hour commutes, and global tax law presentations, my mother is entering the last leg of her career. She and my father have been shopping for their next home in Niagara's wine country, a goal they've moved toward as a team. To them, and to all those who work to make the career dreams of little girls everywhere come true, thank you. We will continue.

As a working mum with three kids, I know first hand how tough juggling work and family life can be. It doesn't help that we're living through a cost-of-living crisis, where our wages no longer cover essential daily costs such as paying the electricity bills or putting food on the table.
David Cameron doesn't seem to be trying to make life easier for working parents. The cost of childcare is up by 30 per cent and there are now 35,000 fewer childcare places since 2010. It's plain to see that life for many families is getting harder under this government.
I'm working as Labour's shadow minister for childcare and children to fight to make life better for families across the country. We know that families are under pressure right now -- which is why Labour plans to do things differently:
•Labour would expand free childcare to 25 hours per week for every child aged three or four with working parents;

Out of stock
This listing is for 13oz cut CASA MADAIO Caciobufala buffalo milk cheese from Italy.
This normally retails for about $40.00 lb., but because of a special end-lot deal from the importer, we are able to offer a limited amount of this fine cheese for only $12.00 lb.
Playing off the evolution of Mediterranean drawn curd cheeses (sometimes called "pasta filata"), Caciobufala of Casa Madaio is pleasant, aromatic and it instantly melts in the mouth. The aroma is intense with notes of cream and butter, with a sweet and persistent taste of water buffalo milk. Made in the shape of a large drum or pill, this cheese's production is similar to the stretching of curds you would see in provolone or caciocavallo. The taste is delicate and sweet even after longer maturation of 8 to 12 months. Produced only with buffalo milk from the dairy farm of Piana del Sel, calf rennet and salt, the curd is drawn to follow the natural rhythm of ideal maturing process. The cheese is maturated strictly in the natural caves of Casa Madaio.

The Australian government could significantly reduce migrant worker exploitation by being more lenient to students who are coerced by employers into breaching their visas, according to immigration and employment lawyers at community legal centres.
Solicitors from the Redfern Legal Centre have asked the minister for immigration and border protection, Peter Dutton, to reform the conditions where international student visas can be revoked, providing a second chance for students who have been pressured or misled by exploitative employers, and encouraging them to come forward.
International students are now allowed to work only 40 hours a fortnight. Redfern Legal Centre's Sean Stimson and Linda Tucker said unscrupulous employers forced students to breach this cap, then used the threat of penalties to prevent them from reporting underpayment and poor treatment.
"We see clients every week who report serious underpayment or non-payment of wages and other entitlements. But a depressingly regular feature is that our clients, fearing repercussions for their visa status, do not press for entitlements claims," they said.
Stimson said: "We found there was a business model that targets migrant workers and international students. And what is enabling this exploitation always comes back to the visa. There are laws that protect international students but, if you exceed your 40 hours, then the department of immigration under the Migration Act are entitled to cancel your visa. That is a big enough deterrent to not actually proceed.
"As soon as we outline the potential consequences of visa breach to our clients, we are instructed by them to discontinue. They are instructed to step back into the shadows. The situation has happened that people have come forward but they have been deported before their claim finished and the employer got away with it."
A 2016 Senate report into worker exploitation described the penalties for visa breaches as "draconian".
Redfern Legal Centre is asking Dutton to issue a ministerial direction that would allow warnings to be issued in the first instance of a visa breach.
Under the proposed wording, it would direct the department to cancel visas only in cases of "serious non-compliance" and to take into account the relative bargaining power of employees, socioeconomic and cultural factors, and whether the breach was a result of coercion.
Section 499(1) of the Migration Act allows the immigration minister to provide written directions to people or bodies with powers granted under the act.
"There's enough legislation there, that if we can access it, it will deter exploitative employers and will turn this epidemic around," Tucker said. "It has to. The deterrents are substantial for employers – we just need to access it".
Sohoon Lee, the president of KOWHY, welcomed the proposals.
"For people who are new to Australia and not familiar with Australian laws, having committed an unlawful act already produces insecurity and fear, even if they are coerced into it. I have seen many workers in restaurants who had no other option but to be paid cash-in-hand $12 per hour. Although it is clearly the employers that violated the Fair Work Act, workers still worry that they may have committed something unlawful.
"Revoking the visas of students who have been subject to exploitation is not only cruel and inhumane, but also violates one's basic human rights, such as the right to due process, fair wages and justice."
Stimson and Tucker said the proposal had "unanimous support".
"We have taken this proposal to many individuals and organisations working in this field. In addition we have submitted the proposal to the federal government's migration review taskforce and discussed the proposal with the taskforce chair, Allan Fels."
"All the inquiries, reviews, reports and recommendations into protecting vulnerable migrant workers will not strike at the heart of this shameful workplace abuse as long as employers can wield threats of deportation against those who dare to complain."
The immigration ministerhas been approached for comment.

Rephrasing is repeating what someone has said or written to say the exactly the same thing but using different words. This is often done to check someone's understanding of what has been said or to repeat what someone has written within an academic work while avoiding any form of plagiarism. It is also used online to prevent any penalties incurred from the search engines due to using copied material.
Plagiarism is illegal as well as being just plain wrong, other peoples work is covered by copyright and you should not just blindly copy what other people have done and use it as your own work.
Why Do You Want to Paraphrase Sentences?
To paraphrase a sentence is something that is often required when writing an academic piece; you may wish to use what another author has said but reword it to better suit or reflect the style of writing within your essay. You may also want to reword the sentence purely to avoid issues with plagiarism or to just demonstrate that you have a full understanding of what the original author was trying to say. You can learn more about plagiarism paraphrasing as well.
How to Go about Rewriting Sentences
- If you have a sentence for rewriting the easiest way to approach it is to read the sentence several times ensuring that you fully understand it.
- Make a few simple notes or bullets of what the points are that are raised within the sentence and then rewrite the sentence using those bullets rather than looking at the original.
- Then review the original and your rewritten sentence side by side to ensure that they look nothing alike.
- If you have used many words that are the same when paraphrasing sentences, change them even if they are in a slightly different order from the original
- Rephrasing does not just mean taking each word in turn within the sentence and swapping it for another word with a similar meaning from your thesaurus. And good paraphrasing examples can demonstrate it perfectly.
- This often results in a sentence that will no longer reflect the original meaning as "similar" words can often completely change the overall meaning of a sentence.
Help with Refrasing a Sentence
If you need someone to "paraphrase this sentence for me" then you can come to our highly professional and very experienced online paraphrasing service. Our writers are all graduate degree qualified and will work within their areas of expertise ensuring that they fully understand the sentence. They also know how to use paraphrase in a sentence and are able to provide you with correct citations in any required academic style.

What is the difference between Backup and Storage?
What is Online Backup?
Backup automatically copies all of your chosen files online. When you install the XL Cloud desktop software it asks you which folders you would like to backup. The software then creates a mirror of those folders on our servers in the cloud. If you create a new file in one of those folders, XL Cloud will automatically upload the file to the cloud. If you edit a file, XL Cloud will replace the old file with the new one. If you delete a file on your computer, XL Cloud will remove it from the cloud.
If you accidentally remove a file from your computer you can review your deleted files on the XL Cloud portal and download the file back to your computer – this will only work up to 30 days after the file has been deleted.
If your computer breaks or needs to be restored you can download all of your important documents back to your PC or Mac. Simply install the XL Cloud Restore program and click the download button.
Backup basically stops you from losing your files if your computer has a virus or a mechanical failure. This is a simple service which is perfect for people who want things to happen automatically.
What is Online Storage?
Online Storage allows you to access and edit your files anywhere at any time. Simply upload your chosen files to the cloud and then access them from any device with an internet connection. This allows you to work on files from multiple computers and stops you from carrying hard drives or USB keys with you.
Online Storage also allows users to share files with their friends or colleagues via a built in web sharing function. Simply select which files you want your friends to have access to and place them in the web sharing folder. You can select if you want the files to be visible to a specific friend or available for everyone to view and download.
Online Storage is simply a way to access and edit your files securely on the cloud. You can edit your files easily from a range of devices and share data with other people.

The epic grandeur of Dante's masterpiece has inspired readers for 700 years, and has entered the human imagination. But the further we move from the late medieval world of Dante, the more a rich understanding and enjoyment of the poem depends on knowledgeable guidance.
A New York Times bestseller for twenty-one weeks upon publication, UNFINISHED TALES is a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring, and further relates events as told in THE SILMARILLION and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
Thunder in the Deep picks up where Deep Sound Channel left off, bringing to life a frightening seascape where technology pushes warriors to new extremes, and warriors push technology to the max. This time the difference between victory and defeat hinges on the two most advanced nuclear attack submarines in the world.
Nikos Kazantzakis, one of the most important Greek writers of the 20th century, was the creator of Zorba the Greek. In Christ Recrucified, the inhabitants of a Greek village, ruled by the Turks, plan to enact the life of Christ in a mystery play but are overwhelmed by their task. A group of refugees, fleeing from the ruins of their plundered homes, arrive asking for protection - and suddenly the drama of the Passion becomes reality.
This autobiographical novel is one of the last things written by Kazantzakis before he died in 1957. It paints a vivid picture of his childhood in Crete, and then steadily grows into a spiritual quest that takes him to Italy, Jerusalem, Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Russia.
Karen Wynn Fonstad's THE ATLAS OF MIDDLE-EARTH is an essential volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. Here is the definitive guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Authentic and updated -- nearly one third of the maps are new, and the text is fully revised -- the atlas illuminates the enchanted world created in THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
A man wakes up in a Washington, D.C., train station in 1958, shortly before the launch of Explorer I, America's first space satellite, with no idea who he is or how he got there. And in less than a few hours, it's clear that someone doesn't want him to find out. He's dressed like a bum, and he looks like he's been on a bender. But he's remarkably skilful at evading pursuit, obscuring his tracks, stealing a car, and breaking into a house.
Historians and philosophers alike have pondered the crucial turning points of history-events that forever altered the course of civilization, and set the stage for the world in which we live today. In these essays, some of the most respected minds of our time ask the question "What If..."
Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being President has gotten no easier. Domestic pitfalls await him at every turn, there's a revolution in Liberia, the Asian economy is going down the tubes, and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR - the former KGB - with a rocket-propelled grenade.
The year is 2011, and in South Africa a reactionary coup has established a military government that has begun sinking U.S. and British merchant ships. NATO quickly responds, with only Germany holding back-until Germany starts nuking Poland and eviscerating the French. Now the South Atlantic is a battleground where nuclear-tipped missiles rule-and the only gun worth using is one that seeks and fires from deep beneath the sea.

The Sierra Leone Road Transport Corporation has on Monday at the Lungi International Airport, launched the Lungi Bus Shuttle service via Port Loko.
The said bus shuttle service according to many is believed would ease the long raised concerns by travelers who have in most cases missed their flights due to the delay, and unstable schedule of the ferry services.
In his welcome address, the General Manager Sierra Leone Airport Authority, Sheik Swaray expressed gratification for the laudable venture by the Road Transport Corporation, stating that the said service bring an end to lots of concerns raised by their clients.
In his brief statement at the launching ceremony, the General Manager of the Sierra Leone Road Transport Corporation, Bockarie Lewis-Kamara said his vision has always been providing adequate transport facilities for the people of this Country. He further noted that there had been a bus service at Lungi before now, but that the institution authority has not been generating revenue in that area. With the new service he said the Corporation would be able to target foreign clients.
Launching the bus shuttle service, the Minister of Transport and Aviation, Leonard Balogun Koroma cautioned the Roads Corporation Management to be ready to accommodate a new crop of clients, adding that their scheduling and timeliness of such service must be of paramount in their operation.
He however called on the Airport management to work side by side with their sister corporation to achieving their goal.

So something strange happened to me today....
Today our driver (yes my driver; feels strange having one, as if I am like Driving Miss Daisy all over Bengaluru...but that's for another story entry....) took me site seeing around the city. He picked me up at noon and off we went. First place we went was the Botanical Gardens. It is a huge park, lots of people visiting it, but not many foreigners.
So I make my way through it; feeling overwhelmed a bit as I am by myself and walking among locals, as well as strays dogs, some monkeys and lots of trees. Even at one point I felt I was being followed so I made my way back to a more centralized part of the garden. It could have just been my "Newark awareness" kicking in, like Spiderman with his spidersense. As they say "you can take a person away from Newark, but you can not take Newark away from the person." Anyhow, I kept enjoying the garden, taking pictures here and there amongst the locals.
At this point I notice two guys taking photos as well and one of them comes up to me saying "Photo?"
I reply "oh, you want of pic of you both?"
He says "oh ...no. A photo with you"
huh?!?!?! with me?! ...um sure. hahaha
Strange, but they both wanted a picture with me. I must stand out like a crazy person dressed differently. Of course, since almost no one here wears shorts and every male wears a button down or plaid shirt. Those that know me very well know that I despise feeling hot, and I always wear shorts when it is warm. So it will take some time for me to start wearing jeans or slacks on a regular basis on these warm days.
So I end up taking pictures with these guys individually and they say thanks. I guess I do not mind, but it did catch me completely off guard.
After the gardens, I went to see other spots around the city. Now I am back at the hotel; just had a delicious dinner with Mariana and time to relax and think about what to wear tomorrow so I can stand out even more .....

NASTF Spring General Meeting
66 attendees joined us for our Spring General meeting during ETI ToolTech18 in Tucson. Several great presentations included: the latest cyber threats from the FBI/DOJ Read Motor Age, Mike Willins coverage by clicking here. Attendees also got to hear from Delphi Trainer, Dave Hobbs about how automakers and Delphi are integrating 48 Volt light hybrids, new cylinder deactivation techniques, improvements in IC engine technology and V2I communications to increase fuel mileage by up to 20%. Team Education presented the status of the Road to Great Technicians project. Team Vehicle Security presented current VSP project statistics and an overview of the SDRM2.0 status and improvements. (both of these will be presented on their respective team calls since we were unable to record this session's presentations). We closed the session with something new we called Lightning Updates. Seyfer took a mic around the room so that attendees could give brief updates on what is happening in their part of the industry. We heard from tool makers, DHS gave us an update on counterfeit tools, mentorship programs, collision team update and many others. It was agreed to do this session again in the fall and make it longer. NASTF thanks ETI for hosting the event and the reception that followed encouraging even more networking.
Bob Stewart - GM, Steve Douglas - Auto Alliance, Chris Gardner - AASA, John Lypen - Motor and Doug Greenhaus - NADA enjoy the ETI NASTF reception following the spring general meeting in Tucson.
WORLDPAC STX2018 - Dallas
The NASTF road show pulled into Dallas just in time for one of the biggest rain storms of the year. Imagine driving in a car wash. The rain did not slow down the WTI/CTI training machine delivering 168 training classes over 3 days. NASTF is very grateful to Bob Cushing, Rob Morrell, Mark Warren and Chris Chesney for the amazing promotion of NASTF at the event. Local girl Vania was on hand to sign up new members while Donny Seyfer talked tech with visitors to our trade show booth. We average 21 new members per hour limited only by the number of tablets we had going. We signed up 126 new members during the show and they are still coming in. Mercedes TRP was our most popular topic. We enjoyed seeing so many NASTF supporters and vehicle security professionals at the event. Thank you again to all involved.
Vania and Donny did not have time to take this picture until 5 minutes after the show closed.
MB USA Xentry Ordering Update
NASTF has learned that requests for Mercedes Xentry are overloading their ability to keep up with demand. The Xentry is configured in Germany by way of New Jersey at this time so MB USA recommends that shops needing the Xentry plan ahead. In some cases it can take as long as 3 months to fill an order. MB USA is in the process of merging their New Jersey and Florida offices and hopes to find some ways to streamline the process. In the meantime they have asked us to convey their appreciation for your patience.
KIA J2534 Programming Update
J2534 software has a new version. Please discontinue use of the old app and download the new one. Also, please clear your browser cache before you do any transactions with the KIA site. We have already had reports of connection issues for VSPs that were resolved by clearing cache and saved passwords for the site. The old J2534 app had a problem where a missing instruction was causing technicians to believe they had damaged the module. It could be recovered by by KIA GDS but not the J2534 app. This has been repaired and messaging updated. Thank you to KIA for a quick resolution and to Christian Brothers for bringing it to our attention.

I made curry.
My friend made me some Chapati (unleavened flat bread) a few weeks ago. The perfect excuse to make curry. It is one of my favorite comfort food and when the temp drops, I find it to be a perfect alternative to soup.
I am surprised it took me this long to share an Indian dish recipe with you. Indian cusine (and culture) is one of my favorites and it always takes me back childhood and some of my fondest memories. It reminds me of saturday morning indian movie marathon. The local TV station in the city I grew up in showed two Indian movies on saturday mornings and all week it's what we looked forward to. The kids on my half block gathered around the black and white TV in my neighbor's front room and watched the weekend's offering of Indian movie. Two of my favorites were Dostana and Mr. India and I went around quoting one of the most famous lines in Indian movie - Mugambo hush hua (mogambo is pleased) until I drove my mom crazy. When I was moving state side, a friend gave me a copy of Dostana on VHS (yes VHS) as a momento of childhood. Ah., the good ole days.
Now over two decades removed, my fascination with the culture and cuisine has not dimished and when I started learning to cook non-Nigerian cuisines - Curry was one of the first things I taught myself to cook. There are a few ways I like to make curry to suit my taste, but this recipe is the closest to traditional curry recipe I have ever made and it is seriously great stuff. Enjoy !!!
Cooking and Recipe Notes. I love to make my curries very spicy - if you are not a fan of spicy, then reduce the cayenne pepper or replace with black pepper. Also I am lucky to have friends who make me batches of Chapati - so I rarely have to make them. If you are inclined to try your hands at chipati - here is my favorite chapati recipe. You can also serve this with naan (or roti) or steamed rice.
The Chicken
- 3 chicken breast, cubed
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
The Paste
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 to 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 dried chili pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 inch ginger root
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 bay leaves
The Curry
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 16 oz can diced tomato
- 1 teaspoon garam marsala
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
How to
The Chicken
Preheat oven to 350 F
In a bowl, combine chicken, lemon juice, salt, black pepper and garlic. Stir together, cover, place in fridge to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. Line a baking tray with foil paper, pour marinated chicken in baking tray and place in oven to bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
The Paste
Combine all the ingredients of the paste into a blender. Puree until you have a paste. Set aside until it is ready to be used.
The Curry
In a medium pan (over medium heat), heat oil and butter. Once oil and butter is heated, stir in the onion paste and cook for 5 minutes. Add in salt, cinnamon and tomato. Turn heat up to high and cook for 7 to 10 minutes (stiring constantly).
Add chicken and garam marsal to the mixture, stir it to evenly distribute chicken in the sauce. Reduce to low heat, place lid over the pan and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (stirring constantly) before serving.
Serve with chapati or roti.

A Comparison of Open Pit Design and Scheduling Techniques
Two competing software packages are commercially available for open pit production scheduling: Whittle Four-X and Earthworks NPVScheduler. In this study NPVScheduler was benchmarked against the Four-X using a statistically designed experiment for accuracy, optimality and technical practicality. The ultimate pits generated by both packages were found to be essentially the same in value, size and shape. The optimal pits generated by NPVScheduler tended to be smaller in size but similar in value to those generated by Four-X.

Energy Saving Advice
Condensing boilers are the most energy efficient boiler which can be installed. A saving up to £230 can be made each year, but the initial cost is much higher than a standard boiler.
New building regulations introduced in April 2005 state that any new boilers installed must be condensing.
- There are two different types of condensing boilers available:
- System or regular - This will work with your existing hot water cylinder. It is the best choice if you have more than 2 bathrooms or your mains pressure is low.
- Combi - The original tanks can be removed and the combi boiler will produce hot water on demand.
How do condensing type boilers work?
On a standard boiler heat is lost through a flue, on condensing boilers a second or larger heat exchanger is used to trap heat which is normally lost and turns it back into a liquid water or condensate.
Condensing boilers also has a gas valve which can regulate the temperature, this means that if the house is up to the temperature required rather than turning on and off like a standard boiler it will turn the gas down and therefore reduces the temperature and save money.

Project Info:
This local Hertfordshire producer wanted a rustic, countryside feel to promote their honey sales throughout the county. I set about selecting a minimal/country-esque colour scheme and then created a linoprint-style emblem in the form of a honey bee
A modern/textured honeycomb background was also added to give it a modern twist. The final items looked the bees-knees on the shelves of local countryfare retailers.

Essays in Financial Economics
Bova, Giuseppe
Date issued
Thesis or dissertation
University of Exeter
We present in this thesis three distinct models in Financial Economics. In the first chapter we present a pure exchange economy model with collateral constraints in the spirit of Kiyotaki and Moore (1997). As a first result in this chapter we prove the existence of an equilibrium for this type of economies. We show that in this type of models bubbles can exist and provide a bubble example in which the asset containing the bubble pays positive dividends. We also show for the case of high interest rates the equivalence between this type of models and the Arrow-Debreu market structure. In the second chapter we present a model with limited commitment and one-side exclusion from financial markets in case of default. For this type of models we prove a no-trade theorem in the spirit of Bulow and Rogoff (1989). This is done for an economy with and without bounded investment in a productive activity. The third chapter presents a 2 period economy with complete markets, and 250 states of the world and assets. For this economies we generate a sequence of observed returns, and we show that a market proxy containing only 80% of the assets in the economy provides similar results as the true market portfolio when estimating the CAPM. We also show that for the examples we present a vast amount of observations is required in order to reject the CAPM. This raises the question what the driving force behind the bad empirical performance of the CAPM is.

Currently Burning: Koko Aloalo
Now onto the daily review!
Koko Aloalo (2): This is a tropical floral type of scent. I definitely get hibiscus from it and plumeria. It has more of the hibiscus so it's a very powdery, perfumey type of floral scent. I tend to lean more toward sweeter florals than this kind.
Remember to keep those wicks trimmed!

Vator Splash Spring 2016 cohort Datanovo finds prior arts to every patent instantly. Prior art is anything that shows an invention is old or obvious. Companies use prior arts to invalidate frivolous patents and show that those innovations already exist long before. Companies also use prior arts (or a lack thereof) to show why their products are not obvious variations but truly cutting-edge technologies. Prior art is what stands between just an idea and true invention. It's the holy grail in intellectual property.
Among the judges were Jed Katz (Managing Director, Javelin Venture Partners,), Josh Elman (Partner, Greylock), Paul Arnold (Partner, Switch VC), Mark Goldstein (Managing Partner, Efficient Capacity), Cindy Padnos (Managing partner, Illuminate Ventures)

Homeschooling is a decision that many families make. While there are many reasons that a family can come to this decision, there are also many things that they can do to make this more effective. The following article contains some helpful tips you can use when you make the decision to homeschool your children.
When your child has a question, don't answer it immediately! Show them how to research the answer on their own, so they can know how to do it when you're not around. There are many websites offering simple information which children of any age could understand, so point them in that direction.
Just because your kids are the only ones in your neighborhood to be homeschooled doesn't mean that you're alone. Not only can you find other homeschooling parents in your city, but you'll find many groups online who share your philosophy that education begins at home. There are conferences, clubs and even support groups waiting for you to use their resources. There are even cruised! If you take the time to search, you'll find a treasure trove lies before you.
Homeschooling takes quite a bit of time out of your day. This can make it difficult to keep up with the housework. If hiring someone is not an option, incorporate different tasks into the curriculum. Have younger children match socks by size and color, and teach older children about measurements by cooking.
The curriculum you choose should not put restrictions on what your kids are learning. Use the books as tools to guide you in the direction your kids need to go in schooling. Take the information from the books and build a learning platform that your kids will do well with. If that means that you are skipping a non-critical lesson or two that is fine.
Do thorough research on the type of curriculum that you are thinking of getting. The quality and approach can differ widely. The content should engage your child to keep his interest high. The curriculum must be well-laid out so that it is easy for you to use. A poorly designed curriculum will cause frustration for you as well as your child.
Do not try to cram every subject into every day. You could use a two or three day school week per subject. This way, you can keep your child focused on a particular subject for longer periods of time. The less often they have to switch their focus to a new subject, the more progress they will make each day.
Before you begin homeschooling, write down your goals. Why are you choosing this method of learning? What milestones do you expect to pass? When you chart out your path, you'll be able to track your progress more easily. When you know what your goals are, you'll have a way to be able to achieve them. Also write down the cons of local public schools as a reminder of why you've left them in the first place.
When you are first beginning homeschooling it is a good idea to reach out to others who homeschool also. People who have been doing it for a while can give you valuable advice about things that worked and didn't work for them. Even if you have been homeschooling for a long time, it is always okay to seek advice from others.
No matter what your personal reason is to homeschool your children, there are quite a few helpful tips and ideas that can help make it more successful. Use the tips shared here and you can find that your homeschooling efforts are not only more effective, but enjoyable for you and your child, too.
